A lot of Irish people perform. They perform in drawing rooms. They sing songs and they play piano.

The whole essence of good drawing - and of good thinking perhaps - is to work a subject down to the simplest form possible and still have it believable for what it is meant to be.

Something about glamour interested me. All my schoolbooks had drawings of women on terraces with a cocktail and a cigarette.

There's something brave and touching about game girls of all ages keeping themselves smart in hard times - one thinks of those wonderful women during World War II drawing stocking seams in eyebrow pencil up the back of legs stained with gravy browning because nylons were so hard to get hold of.

This is an important book the critic assumes because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room.

The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.

But now with technology I could sit down and do a bunch of character drawings and scan them into a computer and the computer using my exact style could bring it into life where it would have been edited by various human beings before.

I have been to several wars to draw. I went to Vietnam. And made drawings in Vietnam during that period of the war there and found that to be a very very sad situation.

That is a Medieval way of drawing history in which they do not respect the law and want the rest of the world to respect the law. That's not possible.

Every society and religion has rules for both have moral laws. And the essence of morality consists as in art of drawing the line somewhere.

It's as if I were collaborating with myself revealing my relationship to the material. My hand would make the drawing. Then my mouth would transmit it.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics in religion in philosophy as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

I work on words mostly toward them being poetry or short stories and then some of those become songs. They all find their place in the world but they all start off in the same place. I'm always painting and drawing as well and it's an ongoing creative assignment.

Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct everything in nature is coloured.

Hunting fishing drawing and music occupied my every moment. Cares I knew not and cared naught about them.

Music is the doorway that has led me to drawing photography and writing.

I've been drawing my whole life. My mom says my sister and I were drawing by age 1. Animation seems a real natural extension of drawing as a way of telling a story visually.

Imagine my surprise when after a lifetime of teaching me to keep personal things to myself Mom insisted my drawings were the start of a comic strip for millions of people to enjoy.

Even though Raster Blaster was only a video game I was learning about designing stuff. I got good at drawing.

It wasn't a problem for me drawing humans although I had originally come to the studio with the idea that what I had to offer them was my knowledge in the drawing of animals.

In this drawing we just let our imagination run wild. We visualized Superman toys games and a radio show - that was before TV - and Superman movies. We even visualized Superman billboards. And it's all come true.

The pleasures of the imagination are as it were only drawings and models which are played with by poor people who cannot afford the real thing.

If you can understand the humor in the drawing part you'll probably get the humor in the audio part.

The comics that are just conversing with you up there and drawing on their own life yeah I guess so. I guess some do political humor some do topical humor but the ones that I like the ones that are appealing to me were guys who were just talking to you about their life.
